Kevin Shields

Kevin Shields is a very famous guitarist and singer from the Irish band My Bloody Valentine (one of my favorite’s bands), I never seen him live, because this band stopped play in the nineties. Kevin Shields is the main composer, and he created one of the most important albums, for my, in the year 1991, this album was called Loveless. His way to play the guitar was very new, and expansive, his technique is based to use various guitar effects like tremolo, reverb, delay and so much distortion. Also he put out of tone the guitars strings a little and record this piece so many times that he put out of tone.

He also collaborates in Sofia Coppola’s films with some songs in the soundtracks (Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette).

If I had a one by one, I would ask him about guitars, combinations of guitar effects, and the way that he recorded the album loveless, how many guitars he recorded to reach that sound, and specially I would ask him self about how play the song “soft as snow but harm inside”. Obviously I would like to play some songs with him.
